Question:
Can kufr be forgiven through tawbah?
Answer:
Yes, if tawbah is made with sincerity, then every sin is forgiven. Allah ﷻ also forgives kufr, shirk, and bidʿah, provided that after repentance, the person does not return to committing them.
❀ ʿAllāmah al-Qurṭubī رحمه الله (d. 671H) said:
أجمعت الأمة على أن التوبة تمحو الكفر.
“The Ummah is unanimous that sincere tawbah wipes away kufr.”
(Tafsīr al-Qurṭubī: 12/181)
